Sick #30, 3 of 3

The last of this issue of Sick from August 1964. I forgot to post this last week but the other two parts are here and here.

Instead of movie parodies as a comic like Mad did, they would do a plot summary with text and photos, like with their parody of From Russia, With Love

The contents page says:”From Russia With Love”, the new James Bond movie... “What's your name, stranger?” “My name is 007” “Funny, you don't look Italian”... Talking about “Russia” and “Love”, and “From”, and “With”, Krushchev had his birthday and had a party, the Communist Party...

The Air Force in Germany kept telling us to train our planes clear of the 70-mile zone on the East Berlin border. The orders go on to say that in case of overflights, if the planes are attacked by Red fighters, they should be sure to dispose of all cameras, film, and other spy equipment... President Eisenhower said if he saw a Russian plane over U. S. territory,he would have had it shot down. Unfortunately while he was President, no Russian plane ever flew over a U. S. golf course

SATURDAY EVENING POST and SCREW

Here's some more gags from THE SATURDAY EVENING POST and the yin to its yang, SCREW.

From the August 24, 1968 issue of SEP.


These are from the February 8, 1969 issue.



The color one is unsigned, but it looks like George Booth to me.

From the May 30, 1969 issue of SCREW.

not your father's SATURDAY EVENING POST...well. actually they were his, but it's just an expression

A while ago I posted ESQUIRE's parody of THE SATURDAY EVENING POST, and how they were trying to update their image. Mike Lynch posted what they were doing in the 40s and 50s , and here are a few cartoons from issues a decade later.

These are from December 4, 1963 (their JFK memorial issue).


Those with knowledge of gag cartoonists might be able to spot the inside joke here.




Now we go back to SEP's attempt to be more hip in 1968.
